Porto Moniz has some of the most stunning natural swimming pools in world. Hundreds of years of volcanic intense activity have resulted in rock formations that form picturesque salt-water pools. Glimmering against the sky, these pools offer beautiful views and an unforgettable experience for swimmers. The pools are surrounded by the Island’s steep mountains and valleys, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for a dip.

Consists of 2 parts: natural pools between volcanic cliffs and artificial big pools with ocean water. Be aware that in stormy ocean conditions pools might be closed.
